Advert flyer "Flat out across the Pacific on the new BOAC Pacific Route" on cover Inside, "FROM APRIL 1 BOAC FLIES A NEW ROUTE TO SYDNEY VIA THE SOUTH PACIFIC - NEW YORK - SAN FRANCISCO - HONOLULU - FIJI - SYDNEY, DAILY SERVICE WITH QUANTAS. When the world's top transatlantic airline opens it's most important new route for twenty years, it's news. BOAC now flies more transatlantic passangers per plane than anyone else. From april 1 you have the chance to find out why - across the Pacific. Is it because we offer nothing but gourmet cuisine? Good old fashioned British courtesy combined with 1967 efficiency? Super comfort? Rolls-Royce jets? You'll get them all across the pacific - together with something else. A brand new economy seat that took two years and $350,00 to perfect. That makes our new route even bigger news, so we're sending you this model. The secret of the chair is leg room. Much more leg room. To let you stretch right out. And luxury-thickness synthetic foam over a new, cunningly moulded plastic shell. It's the most comfortable economy class seat in the world. And it doesn't cost a cent more to fly in it on our Roll-Royce 707 jets. NOW - RIGHT AROUND THE PACIFIC WITH BOAC Only BOAC takes you right round the Pacific - and home again. Auckland or Sydney - Darwin or Perth - Singapore - Kuala Lumpur - Hong Kong - Tokyo. Then back home to San Francisco and New York via Honolulu. {You can adjust the back of your model seat}"
